Patrice, just a comment and a question, I use Firefox and love it! However, I seem to always have a problem with the paper pieced patterns from this site printing correctly using FF, I always have to adjust all the templates and by different numbers, and it makes me nervous, lol. Why in the world would having the 100% scale not print correctly? Are there settings that I need to fix?
Thanks for taking the time to help us here.

Yep, IE worked beautifully for me right away, wish I had used it for my church block, maybe I should redo that one...decisions, decisions...
Which browser do you use? I thought I had all my templates for the church block measuring 1", but then I guess one was a hair bigger and caused some seams not to match, I was using Firfox and had to play with the blocks a lot to get them all to what thought was one inch test square. I tried to do this one with Safari, too much work and still couldn't get it, Google Chrome was a problem too, I had to dig up my old laptop that had Internet Explorer and wallah, all templates meAsuring beautifully with no fiddling at all!! I was going to get rid of that old computer, guess not now..
Internet Explorer is what I use.

since the patterns may be downloaded for personal use exclusively by the person who downloads them, my guess is that cutting them apart to use for applique templates would constitute reasonable personal use.

It would have been better if she had these as 4 or 5 templates instead of 3.
After finally getting them printed out, I had an idea which I wish I had earlier this morning. The templates are gifs which means they will open in a photo program (like Photoshop). One option would be to open the gif and by using copy and paste, turn these into smaller units. That means you may have 6 files but you won't have to worry about getting them to all fit on 1 page.

WOO-HOO!!!!! Just found out that I have a SNOWDAY tomorrow!!!!!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: So after I help dig out I will get started working on my farmhouse. I think I will browse through my fabrics tonight so I will be ready to go!!! Hey, if things go as I think they will, we might just get TWO snowdays out of this blizzard!!! The principal told some of our secondary students today that with the bitter cold that is to follow the storm we might not have school on Friday either! Keepin' my fingers and toes crossed!!! :thumbup: :thumbup: A long weekend will give me more time to sew and work on my teacher homework! :D I might actually get to finish one of my UFOs, too!! :shock:

I used the Paint program in accessories and just copy and pasted from the original(saved to my desktop) to make the proper sizes. I only had to copy pattern B...copied out the top stair section and the bottom stair section and also the test square into a new paint page....saved everything then printed with margins set for 0.25 on all sides. MACs should have a similar program.
